It's the Little Things...

By: Kandice Thorn

When students come to me for career counseling, they are often surprised by the amount of time I spend on seemingly insignificant minutiae in their resumes and cover letters.  I take their formatting and eliminate indentations and bullet points; I turn an en-dash into an em-dash or vice versa for consistency; I remove stray commas or other punctuation.  It sometimes takes several drafts to get to a point where we can really focus on the substance of the document.  This might seem trivial, but this morning as I was reviewing resumes for an undergraduate student worker position in our office, I was reminded just how important these "little things" are.

I Passed the Bar Exam! Now What?

By: Kandice Thorn

Last week and this week I am writing a pair of posts addressed to those who just received their bar exam results.  If you did not receive happy news, you may wish to revisit last week's post about what to do if you did not pass the bar exam.  This week, I will address those who passed the bar exam.

I Failed the Bar--Now What?

It is great to be back on the blog after a short hiatus resulting from Hurricane Sandy, among other things. Current LL.M. students have submitted their ISIP bids, and are busy preparing for finals, as they should be, so I thought I'd take a moment to address our alumni who have just received their bar exam results.
